Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter XX, sentence 33

In the morning the servants came to waken the King of Leinster, and when they saw the face of the hag lying on the pillow beside the king, and her nose all covered with whiskers, and her big foot and little foot sticking away out at the end of the bed, they began to laugh, and poke one another in the stomachs and thump one another on the shoulders, so that the noise awakened the king, and he asked what was the matter with them at all.

Who acts: servants, snoring, hag, little foot, noise, King · What happens: come, waken, see, lie, cover, stick away · To what, where: big foot, King, face, pillow, nose, end · Speech: someone speaks here
